Old German Reservists?

My German wife started a conversation over this impending German rule...allowing recruitment of reservists up to age 70.

Would I join (age 67 today)?  I pondered this.

First, boot-camp would to be non-rigorous....no push ups.  

Second,  I'd like a good mattress...no 1970s cot.

Third, this time around....I'd like to be tank guy...maybe even a driver.

Fourth, absolutely no marching.

Fifth, camping out for a weekend is no problem....but no 14 day long exercises.

Sixth, I'd prefer no indoctrination BS.  Don't spend six hours on a 8 minute subject. Shoot, reload...repeat.

Finally....don't bother issuing fancy parade uniforms...I'm  a weekend warrior or war guy, period.
